Installation via Docker
=======================
Apache CouchDB provides 'convenience binary' Docker images through
Docker Hub at ``apache/couchdb``. The following tags are available:
* ``latest``, ``2``, ``2.3``, ``2.3.1``: CouchDB 2.3.1, single node
* ``1``, ``1.7``, ``1.7.2``: CouchDB 1.7.2
* ``1-couchperuser``, ``1.7-couchperuser``, ``1.7.2-couchperuser``: CouchDB
1.7.2 with couchperuser plugin
* ``2.3.0``: CouchDB 2.3.0, single node
These images are built using Debian 9 (stretch), expose CouchDB on port
``5984`` of the container, run everything as user ``couchdb``, and support
use of a Docker volume for data at ``/opt/couchdb/data``.
Note that you can also use the ``NODENAME`` environment variable to set the
name of the CouchDB node inside the container.
**Your installation is not complete. Be sure to complete the**
:ref:`Setup <setup>` **steps for a single node or clustered installation.**
Further details on the Docker configuration are available in our
`couchdb-docker git repository`_.
